Dayton Theatres and the Library

August twenty-eighth to September thirteenth, Dayton Playhouse is putting on a production of Cabaret. If you like Cabaret, you may want to read Berlin Stories by Christopher Isherwood, the book on which the musical and I am a Camera, a non-musical play by John Van Druten, are based. The library has the original book, the script, and the movie musical, so if you check them out before or after going to see it on stage you'll see that they all overlap in slightly different ways.

The same weekends, Dayton Theatre Guild is producing on Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Not only does the library have an English translation of the book by Choderlos de Laclos, but if you are feeling ambitious, we have selections from the original French version as well. You can also find the movie in French with English subtitles under the original title, or an English language version with the translated title Dangerous Liaisons that features Glenn Close, John Malkovich, and many other well-known actors.
